2nd half of 2021/22 season loans RUFC

[Godsend.F.C.]

Why would another club pay a transfer fee for him when he isn't allowed to play for anyone else this season and can go for free in the summer?

Will Grigg hasn't played for Sunderland this season has he ?
Unless this article is an old one or I've misread it if Will Grigg signs for a free or fee he's eligible to play for another club.
You're correct - why pay a fee when a club can get him for free in the summer.
If another club came in for him on loan he can have two loan deals in a season. Theo Corbeanu has played for Wednesday's and now at MK Dons. Apologies if I've read it wrong.

He did play for Sunderland in the League Cup.

He did play for Sunderland in the League Cup.

Ah, didn't realise that, my mistake. So the only way gru will get rid of Will Grigg is if another club takes his contract over permanently ?
Surprised Sunderland haven't cut their losses to get him permanently off the wage bill, he's going to walk away for free in the summer anyway.

The only way they can do that is to pay his contract up, loan him out to a club like us who'll pay some of his wages or sell him but why would he agree a deal now to move anywhere on a fraction of what he's current contract pays? Unless he was offered a signing bonus equivalent to the short fall. Makes him sound like a mercenary but at this stage in his career I think we'd all do the same.
